fun, friendly, interesting
I had heard about this game from a friend and i thought i would give it a try. First of all its a really friendly and fun match 3 game, secondly you can open up hundreds of characters with unique abilities from every disney film ever made and thirdly its the first game what i have come across where you can actually use the emojis you unlock in the game on a phones keyboard. Its easy to setup and for the big kid in me. i was sending disney emoji's to everyone i could think of.lol. All in all a good game, cool interface, great but simple graphics. :)

Beautifully written
This is a beautifully written novel from multiple point of views. There's Ellis, a broody young man and Michael, a fun, quirky, lovable chap. There's the most perfect love affair that lasts a brief moment. Then there's Annie, with a bit of Ellis's nature and a bit of Michael's. She should have come between Ellis and Michael but she just fits, and the two become three. I won't give too much away, but I cried, laughed, and was taken on an epic journey. I loved this book. If I had to pick a little niggling fault, it was the ending. I found the POV a little confusing. I wasn't sure who was taking and had to read it a couple of times. Otherwise, amazing. I'll be buying more books from this author.

Umm... Star Wars is cool? I guess? (1 more)
There was a cool scene with a blind guy... I think?
It was... Good? I think?
I have "seen" this movie three times now, i think. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm bored to tears with star wars anymore, but I swear, i can barely remember anything about it. Not a good sign, i would reckon. I'm not even sure this movie is real. I would guess that instead it's just hollywood gaslighting us all into believing there was some cool new star wars movie. That sounds more plausible to me.
Still better than force awakens tho.

I felt like this book was going to be an epic journey of self discovery and redeeming family and resolving past mistakes, but it was more like reading the journal of a boring person. A person with an interesting life, mind you, but the person himself was boring. I can’t even remember the main character’s name. It felt disconnected and random, jumping around and telling snapshots and things that happened, but no real plot. A bunch of things does not equal plot.
I felt this way the first time I tried listening to it, and so I put it down. Then one Saturday I was bored so I tried again and I got the same vibe, so I quit. I got about 6 or 8 chapters in.

I think I first read this book in the mid 90s when I was in my mid teens, pre-GCSEs.
Flash forward about 20 years, and I think I picked it up again when it was on offer on Kindle. As I didn't really remember all that much about it - save that it detailed a plot to kill Charles de Gaulle, and that there's a film starring Bruce Willis based on it - I thought I would give it a re-read.
While there's no doubting the technical proficiency in it, and the (almost) insane amount of detail, if I'm honest I actually found this to be rather plodding; rather pedestrian. I get it: most police work is such, but (IMO) that doesn't really make an engaging read.

I Loved It
Contains spoilers, click to show
I actually enjoyed the season, though I do agree that it was rushed. And I was pretty satisfied with each individual episode. My only real quibbles were that I didn't like Cersei and Jaime's deaths; I actually would have been okay if Jaime had lived, but Cersei needed to die in a slow and torturous manner, so I really felt robbed of seeing that. I also wasn't thrilled about Bran being named the King. I know that Jon/Aigon didn't want the position, but surely someone else could have been named! Thirdly, I would liked to have seen a real battle with the Night King; a lengthy sword match, if nothing else, at least.

When I sat down to read this book, I thought, "Hmm, interesting title.", the reason I started reading the novel in the first place.
Once I began to read the book, I couldn't put it down. The more I read the more I wanted to read.
It didn't turn out the way I thought it might, but that is a good thing. Because the author gave you an air of looking for one thing and then providing you with another entirely different ending to the story. Also making you want to read the next book in the series.
Thanks Kathryn Johnson for a wonderful mystery.
I was provided with a free copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

My favourite book of 2018
Well I brought this book as heard so so many good reviews, like most books I try not to read spoilers as I enjoy the surprise! ..I was not disappointed I took it on holiday to Mexico and sat by the pool all day turning page after page ..the only disappointment I got was when I finished it!
It’s a strange feeling when your climbing deep into a book , thinking you know the characters well then ‘bang’ you don’t know them at all. It’s such a gorgeous love story but with twists I was not expecting I felt all sorts of emotions all the way through.
I will be reading more of Katherine’s books she is very talented
